Petals of Delusion

Devotion…
but
the
heart
is clenched shut.

Discipline…
but
somehow
unable
to practice.

Love…
but NOT to
self.

Confusion…
but with moments of
clarity.

One
by
one

these petals of delusion
fall of this flower

leaving behind a seed of

true
love
and
devotion
and
discipline

waiting to blossom…
as soon as the heart unclenches
and
releases its grip
on fear and confusion.

waiting to repeat the
loss of petals of delusions
one
by
one

over
and
over
and
over
again

until
